Congratulations. That is a very nice bear in anyone's books. By the time they develop that crease on the head it is an older and larger bear. My bet is it weighed about 320 on the hoof, 220 gutted. Did you weigh it?

Nathan originally spot and stalked a beauty 19” black so we took his 14 year old daughter in to the bait and she whacked a beautiful V neck bear. 20yd crossbow. Couple weeks left. Good luck everyone.

Did you harvest any urine from the bears you have shot? Now would be the time to use it. Don't mix it together.

We harvested 1 color phase here 10yrs ago. 7.5ft nose to tail chocolate. Only had 19” skull. But was easily 500lbs.
Hope you get him or a lucky hunter.

someone told me every 4 years a black bear sow will be dry.
